we READ all the Harry Potter Books for the first time and THE FANDOM IS PISSED | Bonus Minisode

Today we’re here for the FINAL installment of our Harry Potter Mini Episode series. We laughed (sorta), we cried (not really), and some of you guys in the fandom came for us in the comments! Truly, it was a roller coaster over the last couple of months, and we’re just happy we came out of it relatively unscathed.

In this episode we rate the Harry Potter book series as a whole, talk about our least and most favorite parts and characters, if we think this series was overhyped, and what we thought of the overall experience reading these insanely popular books for the first time as adults. 

We discuss our thoughts on the movies, and then address the fandom in general… and its response to our book assessments and reading style.  If accuracy and hard-hitting journalism is what you’re in the mood for, perhaps a pass on us is the way to go. Just sayin…it’s fiction! 😉 

We’re here for a good time, and not the fact checking kind. So if that interests you, make sure to stick around for our next bonus minisode series: Twilight! Which we’re also newbies to. Holy Crow! We hope to see you there.
